From the Publisher

"Like his conception of social justice, John Rawls’s visionof a just world has been the subject of heated debate, but its realstrengths and weaknesses are becoming apparent only gradually. Thisexcellent volume substantially advances that process, and willbenefit anyone hoping to understand how one of the greatestpolitical philosophers addressed some of humanity’s mostpressing problems."
